Text on plate reads: 

I'VE WORKED FOR WETHERSPOON FOR 3 YEARS, 7 MONTHS & 27 DAYS, I ONLY INTENDED TO WORK HERE A FEW MONTHS. I GET PAID WELL BECAUSE I WORK IN THE STANSTED AIRPORT ONE & THEY PAY BETTER AT THE AIRPORT THAN THEY DO ON THE HIGHSTREET. I DO NOT WANT TO WORK FOR SPOONS. I HAVEN'T FOUND SOMETHING ELSE YET. I BELIEVE IN LOVE, CREATIVITY, BEAUTY & MYSTERY. I DO NOT LOVE TAKING 5 BURNING PLATES' WORTH OF TRADITIONAL BREAKFAST TO TABLE 374 AT 04.15 ON A FRIDAY MORNING.  I DO NOT LOVE POIURING A PINT OF STELLA FOR THE MOST IGNORANT MAN IN ESSEX.  I DO NOT LOVE GIVING MY TIE TO A COMPANY THAT PROMOTED BREXIT TO ALCOHOLICS.  I DO NOT LOVE THAT I COULD BE DOING SO MUCH MORE IF ONLY I KNEW SOMEONE FROM THE ARTS COUNCIL TO GO TO LUNCH WITH.  29/04/2026
